Stan and others,

 

Appreciate the help last night.  I was running ragged getting this sorted out and spent the even rendering and uploading files or rather A file.  I did choose to skip the photojpeg for reasons mentioned and just the sheer amount of frames at over 102K.  As many times as I selected the Quicktime option, even though I searched, somehow missed the codec selection ability to select 264, although coincidentally, it defaulted there anyway and I would have been good anyway. lol  Adjusting the bit rate way down to about 3.5K worked well enough for this and kept my file at 1.7GB.

 

Just one follow up question that maybe nobody caught - the sound guy mentioned something about rendering and selecting "use native codec", something to that effect.  Never heard of it and didn't think there was or is a shortcut to rendering files.  Basically what I have is a 71 min film, broken down in to 14 scenes that were comped and rendered from AE as DNxHD 1920x1080 as my hig res finals to take in to premiere.

 

Thanks,
Eric
